We went to Voodoo Donut while we were in Portland. They had many unusual varieties. Here are the ones we tried, ranked in order of excitement.

1. Mango donut

Excitement type: Flavor explosion. This mango filling was incredible, like the ripest, sweetest mangoes you could ever imagine. It wasn’t a jelly- it had a firm texture.

2. Blood Filled Vampire Donut (I think it was called “Bag of Blood”)

Excitement type: Vampire-shaped. Stake through its heart made out of pretzel. Gaping mouth of agony and froot loop. Raspberry jelly blood filling.

3. Bacon Maple Donut

Excitement type: Bacon on a donut. Sounds kind of wrong but it wasn’t.

If you are going to put bacon on a donut, maple is a good flavor to go with it. I couldn’t help but wish it also had a bavarian or whipped cream filling.

4. Old-fashioned

not pictured

Excitement type: none. But it was excellent all the same.

These 4 donuts cost $13, by the way. Gourmet prices.
